Stacey Solomon found herself having an emotional evening as she publically shared her support to her husband Joe Swash as his most personal project to date hit screens. And not only that, she also became another step closer to watching her son leave primary school for the last time.
Starting with Joe, 41, and on Tuesday night (July 11), the former EastEnders actor was seen exploring the stories of teenagers in care after being inspired by his own mum, Kiffy, who became a foster parent once her own children got older.
Airing on BBC One, Joe Swash: Teens in Care saw the actor-turned-presenter and TV personality meeting youngsters over the age of 16, who are the largest growing cohort in both child protection and care, to hear about their experiences and what support is available once they turn 18 and are left out of the care system.

The documentary also featured Joe's wife Stacey, 33, who Joe was seen crying to after one of his visits to see the teens in foster care as he imagined it being his own young daughter Rose, now 20 months, as it was filmed before Stacey gave birth to their second daughter together, Belle, earlier this year.
Taking to Instagram as the documentary aired, Stacey filmed the family's TV as they watched it live together. "Now crying watching Joe's documentary..." she wrote to her more than five million followers with a crying emoji.
She then added: "So proud of you @realjoeswashy #teensincare @bbciplayer." And it was an emotional night for Stacey as it came after she watched her son in his last primary school play.
Eleven-year-old Leighton, from one of Stacey's previous relationships, is set to start secondary school in September and his mum previously shared how he's having to go it alone after not getting into the same one as his friends.
Sharing a picture of her son sporting a blonde wig and floral dress alongside a classmate who also rocked a brunette wig, orange dress and a tiara, the mum-of-five explained:" Just watch Leighton's 'leavers play'," alongside another crying emoji.
"It was so brilliant and hilarious! WELL DONE Year Six. They did Cinderella and Leighton was an ugly sister! I'm feeling so so emotional about him leaving primary school. Love you Leight."
Stacey previously shared her fears for Leighton finishing off primary school, saying on social media "It's starting to feel emotional now because it's nearly summer and then that's it, none of Leighton's friends are going to the school that he's going to.
"I just feel really nervous for him but hopefully they'll all stay in touch, I really hope so because I like the mums too. It took me a really long time to find mums that like me. But Rex is going to Leighton's school and some of their siblings are going there as well so hopefully I'll still see them."
At the end of last month, the Sort Your Life Out host then shared a sweet picture of herself and Leighton cosied up and smiling into the mirror for the mirror selfie. "Good luck Leighton..." she started to type.
"Now it's time for Leighton (and me tbh) to make some new friends. We didn't get into any of the schools his friends are going to so it's starting all over again! We were nervous at first but now I'm actually super excited for Leighton," she added.
And things appeared to go well as she later returned with a video catch-up. Speaking directly to the camera from her kitchen sink, she said: "Finally home! Today has felt the longest day of school administration ever. Leighton had a really good time, he made some friends."
